@Paul Wise (Debian) (pabs): Please don't tag it as "Fix Released". I still have crash message when I try to start it as user. There SHOULD BE a message "This program requires root privileges to work" or something like that. Instead, I have: $ iotop Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/iotop", line 16, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 563, in main main_loop() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 553, in <lambda> main_loop = lambda: run_iotop(options) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 465, in run_iotop return curses.wrapper(run_iotop_window, options) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/curses/wrapper.py", line 43, in wrapper return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 457, in run_iotop_window process_list = ProcessList(taskstats_connection, options) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/data.py", line 373, in __init__ self.update_process_counts() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/data.py", line 429, in update_process_counts stats = self.taskstats_connection.get_single_task_stats(thread) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/data.py", line 158, in get_single_task_stats reply = GeNlMessage.recv(self.connection) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/genetlink.py", line 50, in recv msg = conn.recv() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iotop/netlink.py", line 229, in recv raise err OSError: Netlink error: Operation not permitted (1)
Is that correct behaviour, in your opinion? Checked with iotop, version 0.4.3-1ubuntu1, architecture i386. ** Changed in: iotop (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897411 Title: iotop crashes every start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iotop/+bug/897411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
